But what about the second secret? Russia was supposed to be consecrated before WWII. Long before Roncalli, Pacem in terris, and the conciliar sect. Did Sister Lúcia inform Popes Pius XI/XII in time about their heavenly duty to consecrate Russia? And if she did, why didn't they do what was asked for? And, given that they didn't, whom do Fatimists follow? Do they follow the Pope or do they follow apocryphal private revelations?
I am not a Fatimist so I will only say the obvious - that the popes will answer for not doing as Our Blessed Mother asked.
My point is, the people who chose to follow "Roncalli, his successors, and virtually all the bishops" will also answer for abandoning the true faith for the new faith. It's a matter of people wrongfully putting authority over the faith. To say
"It must be ok because the pope/priests/bishops say it's ok" might be feasible if Fr. Fenton's teaching in this matter were actually true teachings, which they aren't, but if they were, then authority over faith would be the way to go! The teaching I refer to here is the one where he teaches that the popes are always infallibly safe to follow whenever his directives are given to the whole Church. People, even trads wrongfully attribute this heresy to be a dogmatic(?) teaching of the Church.
But as it is, the people have merited for themselves the dubious opportunity to *always* be mentioned as part of the problem whenever speaking of the blame attributed to this crisis - because all of the people who follow[ed] are contributors, without the collaboration of all those people, this crisis would [have] immediately fail[ed].
